Optimizer
The Carlisle Air Optimizer utilizes compressed air "Bleed" into the fuel gases through
two venturi mixers mounted at the burner valve body. By premixing the gas, the optimizer
decreases the BTU capacity per cubic foot of a specific fuel gas. This changes the dynamics
and flame characteristics. With propane, the flame becomes more focused and narrow with the
use of the optimizer. This also helps reduce the "burning out" or "muting" of more certain
colors. In order to produce the same amount of heat, a greater volume of gases must pass
through the burner. As the flow increases, the gases travel faster. High gas velocity results
in less heat transfer back into the burner, allowing the burner to operate cooler. Compressed
air is less costly than compressed oxygen which saves money too.
